St. Spiridon

This is a tile I made in my recent workshop at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, MT. It’s an icon of St. Spiridon, the patron saint of potters. The face I tried to make look like Pete Voulkos. Not sure how successful that was, but I hope he’ll watch over the Bray. Teaching there was a real treat for me, since the first workshop I ever attended was there in 1969, so this was a real “full-circle” moment for me.
